Welcome to Henry's Old Homestead — the American farm as it was between 1930 and 1970, thirty things at a time. The buildings a place needed before electricity, the things a farm kitchen held, the animals a child fed, sold or lost. We go through them one at a time, name each one properly, and give the year it left the farm for good. Every episode is built from trade catalogues, county sale bills, patent records and USDA figures — no myths, no invented numbers. When we give a price, a date or a weight, it came off a page somebody printed at the time, and when the record cannot settle something, we say so out loud. If you grew up on one of those places, or your parents did, you will know half this list before we start and remember the rest by number one. Feed sack dresses, cream separators, Farmall tractors, hand pumps, sale barns, one-room schools. Tell us in the comments what your yard had. New videos every week — subscribe and keep count.
